Melt Filter K-SWE / LK-SWE

Screen Changers for continuous operation

The operating mode of the screen changers K-SWE / LK-SWE for continuous operation (without an interruption of the melt flow) is based on the well-proven principle of two screen bearing pistons.

During production, the plastic melt is divided into two flow channels inside the screen changer housing, then conveyed through the two filters equipped with the appropriate filter medium. This filter medium consists of screen packs in conjunction with the breaker plates.

Applications for the Screen Changer K-SWE

• for processes with most different throughput capacities (laboratory applications up to large polymerisation lines)
• for compounding, semi-finished production, recycling, manufacturing of fibres, polymerisation, film extrusion

Materials for the K-SWE

• suitable for almost all polymers
• special design for PMMA and PC

Applications for the Screen Changer LK-SWE

• for manufacturing processes with higher output rates and greater contamination
• for semi-finished production, recycling, polymerisation

Materials for the lk-swe

• suitable for all polyolefines as well as for most of the technical plastics.

Customized special solutions:

• various coatings of the flow channel
• special breaker plates
• customised adaption
